Mikey Loomis: Its "Stupid" to think Dennis Allen has lost the Saints Locker Room

I’ll say this. Until the post game presser in the Atlanta game I did not think DA had lost the locker room. If it came out that Winston and the others decided to help Williams a TD to boost his morale or give him love for a tough season I wouldn’t have thought it was a big deal. I think players help their boys. It’s not unheard of. Hell I’ve seen opposing players help a guy set a record. Didn’t a QB basically give up to help Strahan set a record?

Anyway what blew up everything and took such a nice ending to an otherwise crap season and made it 10x worse was DA throwing the players under the bus. Why even admit they did it on their own? Just say “I understand Smith being angry and it’s something we’ll discuss as team later” and leave it at that? Now you look soft and you create fissures in the locker room. Now we start hearing about culture ? Cmon.

I think DA is a solid DC. He’s not cut out to be a HC which requires so much more people skills, finesse and admin abilities in top of coaching abilities.
